I'm still in love with the Lego Volkswagen Camp Van, but my brick heart has been stolen by the new 1,077-piece Lego Mini Cooper. I'm very happy that Lego is continuing to release iconic automobiles within their Creator line. Next we need a vintage 911.

Bartek Elsner, an artist who uses cardboard to build things far more awesome than your childhood fridge box fort, created this monstrous paper boombox for a Mini Cooper dealer in Zurich, Switzerland. What's even more awesome is that the creation works, and is powered by the car battery from a Mini that's actually…

This Mini Cooper opens up to become a beautiful entertainment chair. It's perfect for games (especially racing games) but also does well with movies and music because the seat has a vibration pad (called the 'Butt Kicker' no less) to get you in the action.
